IV-3. RECEIVING A FAX
Reception by Enhanced Faxes can be received through the use of an external telephone or
Remote Activation an extension telephone.
Remote activation You can activate the fax machine from a remote telephone. This is
useful if you are using
the machine on an extension of a key
telephone system.
Remote activation allows you to receive a call on a telephone which
is either connected from the fax unit or is parallel connected to your
telephone line (extension telephone), but is not located near the fax
unit. If an in-coming call is a fax transmission, simply press F/T &
REMOTEID of the external/extension telephone (tone-type) to
enable reception of the fax.
- If you accidently pick up your extension or external telephone by
mistake when you are transmitting or receiving a FAX. there
might be some slight distortion on the document.
- If you are using an extension or external telephone, be sure to use
" it"and!or 'W'for the F/T& Remote ID. (This will help you avoid
operation errors.)
Reception into memory If the unit has run out of paper it will automatically store any fax
transmissions it receives in its memory. Also, if it runs out of paper
midway through receiving a transmission, it will store the part of
the document that it is unable to print. The following message
appears on the LCD display:
CHECK RECORDING PAPER

documents or parts of documents.
